Highways, streets, and parking lots — no matter how well constructed — will deteriorate over time. As pavement reaches the end of its design life, the rate of deterioration increases significantly. While routine maintenance can greatly extend the life of asphalt surfaces, rehabilitation or full reconstruction may eventually become necessary.

In many cases, there’s more than one viable solution for a given pavement issue. The right approach should be determined through a careful evaluation of the pavement’s intended use, cost-effectiveness, and long-term benefits.

At Alliance Paving, we bring over two decades of experience in identifying pavement failures through detailed site surveys. Based on our findings, we provide each client with a written proposal outlining recommended maintenance, rehabilitation, or reconstruction — prioritized to meet both budget and performance goals.

Some of the most common asphalt services we provide include:

Asphalt Removal and Replacement

Complete or partial areas are removed to a depth of 4” and then compacted. Many asphalt removal and replacement areas exhibit alligator cracking, an interconnected series of cracks forming small blocks resembling an alligators back or chicken wire.

Asphalt Cold Milling

This process involves removing a section of asphalt—typically between 2 to 6 inches thick—and conveying the material directly into an off-haul truck. The reclaimed asphalt (millings) can often be recycled and reused, provided there is no underlying pavement fabric present.

Once the area is milled and thoroughly swept clean, a new layer of asphalt can be applied to restore surface height and integrity. This technique is especially effective for correcting large areas affected by shoving (bulging or displacement of pavement) or corrugation, also known as washboarding or rippling of the asphalt surface.

Asphalt Overlays with Inter-layer Fabrics

Paving Fabric Inter-layer are engineered geotextile fabrics placed between layers of asphalt concrete. Overlays with inter-layer fabrics have had an outstanding record of improving pavement performance while reducing maintenance and life-cycle costs. Paving Fabric Inter-layer Systems extend the life of new AC pavements and AC overlays. When placed between layers of AC pavement, these systems becomes an integral part of the asphalt section, forming a barrier to water infiltration and absorbing stresses to reduce reflective and fatigue cracking of the new asphalt surface layer.

Asphalt Overlays

This could include one or more courses of asphalt on an existing pavement structure.

Surface Patching

Areas where small hairline cracks, minor surface distortion or raveling, a surface or “skin” patch is the most cost effective technique. A layer of hot-mix asphalt is placed and rolled over the distressed area and generally does not require removal of the pavement section.

Crack Repair

These problems are the separation of the pavement due to natural causes, traffic volume, or reflections from an underlying pavement. Cracks should be repaired to prevent intrusion of foreign materials into the sub grade and to prevent water intrusion into the underlying pavement layers.
